Creating Pathways to Publishing for You

We seek to delight all readers with a variety of Christian fiction and nonfiction authored by Black, Indigenous, Latina, Asian or other women of color- 40 years or wiser. 


The first step on your manuscript journey is to send us an email.


Please write QUERY in the subject line of your email to submissions@faithjourneypublishing.com.
Do not attach manuscripts or proposals to email queries.
Based on your query, we will determine our interest in your material. Please allow at least TWO (2) weeks to receive a RESPONSE.

It is possible your project may not align with our CURRENT editorial needs, but we encourage you to try again at later time.

If we request your manuscript, unless otherwise specified, it should be emailed in a Word document, typed in 12-point font, double-spaced and paginated. Include the title and author in the file name. There is a $25.00 submission fee.
Your manuscript will not be accepted without the fee. The specific genres of manuscripts we accept are listed below.
